Hello to all
Well the weekend is coming to a close ..how fast it goes..my blood 🩸 work and all of the labs came back normal…the GI local doctor and his staff want to schedule me for a colonoscopy which they are requesting a cardiac clearance from my cardiologist.. I just saw her on the 28th of May…I am scheduled to follow up with her on the 29 October..I am supposed to follow up with this GI doctor on 4 October..
So that poses a problem.. I sent a note via Genesis patient portal to my
Cardiologist at Ft. Belvoir and spoke with her nice reception person who said he also sent her a note explaining my situation..I hope to get a callback tomorrow or a reply to my note so I can get back to the GI staff here and let them know so I can arrange a date for this procedure… meanwhile my wife has certain dates for follow ups.. I will have both e-fax numbers available to whoever calls back first.. I’m hoping it will be my cardiologist who has been a saint for me in the past clearing me for a THR….the question is whether she will issue a current approval based on my visit from 2 months ago or whether she will want me to be seen by her again…if so, they will have to squeeze me in….probably like everywhere, appointments are hard to get and rather long in the making…wishing all who come here a safe and healthy week 🙏pvctom

@pvctom2021 I hope you have gotten that call back now, and you can rest easier getting things into place. It's an awkward situation to line up appointments and procedures with multiple doctors, who might be in different areas. I bet more than one of us members have had to deal with that! I find that asking to be placed on a cancellation list to be considered if they get an opening, sometimes has worked out to move an appointment up. Another good journaling subject, writing about the frustration you might be facing to get things coordinated.
